At the start of the year, we made some predictions about the topics that were likely to dominate the conference landscape in 2011 and, as is now traditional, we want to take a moment to reflect on the year. You may remember that in our original post(hyperlink) we thought the hot topics in 2011 would be:
- Mobile Devices
- Apps (cross devices)
- Social Media
- Cloud Computing
- Content
- Healthcare
Many of our suggestions were right on the money – a number of these topics have been growing for years now and are almost sure to continue to be important going forward. However, we also missed a few runaway trends (like Big Data), so want to spend the next few posts looking back, analysing the hot topics and providing insight on the conference industry in 2011.
We’ll also be making our predictions for 2012 in the next few weeks, so don’t forget to check back regularly!
